I have my save set to always save a backup copy.
Now I need that backup copy and can't find it.
How do I retrieve the backup copy ?
In the open dialog, when I select the file in question, only the
"current version" is listed.

Please see ->
Tools | Options | OpenOffice.org | Paths -> Backups
You may also open the file with right-click -> 'Open with ...'
from Windows explorer context menu.
Thank you.
I sure would prefer if the .bak file were saved in the original
directory.
I think it is common practice, to save a backup file
in a different path. ;-)
Anyway - you're free to change the path:
Tools | Options | OpenOffice.org | Paths ->
select <Backups>
choose >Edit ...<
Is there a way to set the backup directory to be the source directory,
whatever that happens to be ?
It isn't easy (to me) to understand your intention.
Perhaps working with *versions* would be a better solution?
Please have a look at the *OpenOffice.org Help* <F1>
Index:
- version management
- versions;comparing documents
etc.
So you may save different versions in addition to
your "current version" (see above - your words)
in the same file.
Maybe that we misunderstand each other ... ;-)

Thank you for the suggestion.
